The Indian markets saw a moderate uptick today with Nifty 50 and Sensex closing higher, primarily driven by strong performances in the IT, PSU banks, and pharma sectors. Despite the global geopolitical tensions, particularly involving the US-Iran crisis which threatened energy supply chains, domestic investor sentiment remained positive due to robust buying by domestic institutional investors (DIIs). However, the Bank Nifty saw a slight decline as uncertainties around potential rate hikes and ongoing geopolitical risks loomed over financial stocks.
